Original Note:
Census data: 9.6% poverty rate for ages 65+ (2017-2021). The threshold for a single person was $12,996/year (2021). The international poverty line: $1.90/day (2011 prices). Sanders is misleadingly using relative income poverty, a metric that reflects inequality. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/12/poverty-rates-by-age-county-region.html https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/historical-poverty-thresholds.html https://www.who.int/data/nutrition/nlis/info/population-below-the-international-poverty-line https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/d76e4fad-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/d76e4fad-en#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20latest%20available,Mexico%20and%20the%20United%20States.
